After trying this, I tried docker compose up -d and that did work.
But why does the tutorial say docker compose watch while it doesn't work?

[igorkang-smc]

Got same issue

[thisistonydang]

I just had the same issue. I tried deleting all my containers and reran docker compose watch and everything works now. Not sure why. 🤷

Hi all! This is a sporadic error that occurs when the yarn install fails (which can be for a variety of reasons). Since the yarn cache directory is also cached by the builder, the error persists across builds. Currently, there are only two fixes available:

1. In the Dockerfile, update the RUN statement with the yarn install command to also run yarn cache clean. Run it through one time to get the build working again and then remove the cache clean (so it doesn't wipe the cache each time you build).

or

2. Update the RUN statement to remove the --mount... config, which will remove the cache mount. With that gone, the failed build won't carry through to following builds. The tradeoff is future builds will have to redownload all dependencies, rather than only what changed. But, for this project, that shouldn't be a big deal.

I'll start a conversation internally, as we may end up just going with Option 2 here and update the project for everyone. It hasn't affected too many people, but it is tricky to resolve when it comes up.

Hi all, If you are facing this issue try to run this command docker compose up --watch instead of docker compose watch, it worked for me.

[IntelliLab2024]

docker compose up --watch worked for me but the page in browser is stuck in loading.
docker compose up -d worked for me and it loaded properly in the browser. but maybe the --watch is not working, will check that.
tks

[yatinburhmi]

@IntelliLab2024 are you trying to access to some port? because according to readme.md , navigate to http://localhost

[SkylerMime]

I was experiencing the same problem as @IntelliLab2024, if I try running the app in watch mode the browser won't load the page.

However, after running it in normal mode, closing everything with docker compose down, and trying again with docker compose watch, it works fine.

Thanks!

However, after running it in normal mode, closing everything with docker compose down, and trying again with docker compose watch, it works fine.

This worked for me:
docker compose up -d (however web page would start up and be stuck at "Loading")
docker compose down
docker compose up

Now the app loads.

"1." didn't work for me with this line:--mount=type=cache,id=yarn,target=/usr/local/share/.cache/yarn \, but this did:
RUN yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn cache clean, then docker compose build --no-cache, then in the dockerfile reverted back to:

RUN --mount=type=cache,id=yarn,target=/usr/local/share/.cache/yarn \
    yarn install --frozen-lockfile

and build again with cache docker compose build.
